Veronica Forand
People rarely try to pick me up. Perhaps it’s my sarcasm, or my really loud voice, or the
wedding band on my finger. In truth, I had to make the first move to grab my now husband’s
attention.
We’d been friends in high school and had spent a summer before college hanging around each
other every single day. It was obvious we liked each other, but the friendship was so strong I
didn’t want to screw it up but pushing for anything more. I’m sure he felt the same way…maybe?
Anyway, it was now August and as much as friendship is great, I wanted a bit more. I’m sure he
did too, but was bashful. So to make a long rambling story shorter and less rambling, I asked
him for some Chapstick after he’d put some on (he was a hunky lifeguard and needed to protect
his skin). Instead of taking it from his hands, I took it from his lips with my own lips. Things
progressed very well after that!
Taking his own sweet time in everything he does, we married seven years later and will be
together over twenty years on our anniversary.
Simmering Ice Blurb
Her newest release co-written with Susan Scott Shelley is Simmering Ice.
When the gloves come off, she’s worth the penalty…
Physical therapist Annie Davidson is great at her job but unlucky when it comes to love. She’s
just out of a bad relationship. A really bad relationship. All she can do is focus on work…that is
until she runs into professional hockey player Alec O’Meara. She’s a touch insecure and doesn’t
understand why he’s interested in her.
Despite being one of the biggest players on the team, right wing Alec O’Meara prefers finesse
over force. After the tragic death of his wife, he likes to keep things loose on and off the ice. But
the red-headed Annie challenges his beliefs and makes him think about taking their relationship
to the net.
The passion and fun they share is addicting and makes them long for more. But her insecurities
that she’s not good enough, and his anxiety over a long-term commitment will keep them apart,
unless they can find a way to break through the defenses they’ve built around their hearts.
